[Bug-wget] --connect-timeout doesn't work on Windows

It appears that --connect-timeout doesn't work on recent versions of
wget when running on Windows (compiled with mingw). I have confirmed
this with my own builds of wget (available at
<https://eternallybored.org/misc/wget/>, both 1.16.3 and 1.13), and
with the builds available here:
<http://opensourcepack.blogspot.com/2010/05/wget-112-for-windows.html>.

This is pretty trivial to test - I used
  wget --connect-timeout=1 http://192.0.2.1:12345/
...and wget just hung there (I left it for a few minutes).

The old gnuwin32 build (1.11.4) doesn't have this problem.

           Because 10 billion years' time is so fragile, so ephemeral...
it arouses such a bittersweet, almost heartbreaking fondness.
